Echoing the other sentiments here for you and your wife—this is the club nobody wants to join, but we all want to give you a big hug. Its a shitty, scary fight, but some of the therapies coming out now are truly amazing in their potential. My own wife was diagnosed with an immune-mediated cancer a few years ago, and I went pretty deep into the research when that happened. 10 years ago, her diagnosis (melanoma IIIa) had a pretty discouraging prognosis based purely on stats. Today, they're going to have to rewrite a lot of textbooks around those stats. Hang in there, and don't forget to take care of yourself too. Being in the role of caregiver is fucking exhausting at times. If you're like me, it falls to us to be the shield against well-meaning but poorly informed acquaintances shilling this herbal remedy or that metabolic supplement or this fantastic ketogenic diet backed by the research of some doctor nobody's heard of because Big Pharma... Just nod and smile and say you'll look into that and give them the middle finger in your minds eye. Try and find some support system, whether its a caregivers group or friends who have been through it, or even friends who haven't that you can still vent to. There's a lot coming at you, and more to come. Its ok to take some time for yourself some too. Best wishes, man—I'll be thinking about your family.
